Like "Sleeping Beauty" in the fairy tale,
awakened by her prince's lovely kiss,
earth's pretty butterflies, aroused, soon hail
new life from dark cocoon to brilliant bliss.
What miracle it is, from furry past
to work of art with intricate designs,
inside a magic canvas, when at last
the kiss of Nature paints and redefines.
Confined once to the earth on shrubs and trees,
renewed now with bright wings to soar and fly,
these butterflies of beauty hug the breeze
for heavenly existence in the sky.
Our gift from Nature- rebirth's mystery;
her metaphor for death and life to be.
